The very fundament of Décembre Noir was laid in Erfurt in 2008. From a rather undefined two-man project (and some staff changes later) Décembre turned into a real Death-Doom monster. After defining their style the band released two albums, that don’t need to fear a comparison to other established acts. The thuringians classically depict topics like decay, death and melancholie but in combination with a lot of anger in their work.

Mosaic from Thuringia saw the light of the day in 2006. A fitting contrast to this phrase is the description of their music: Experimental Black Metal Darkness. Some people might know that the band is linked to Alchemyst, which existed from 2009 to 2013 and enjoyed popularity in the underground.

Gorilla Monsoon are around for over 15 years now and have brought mayhem and terror to eastern Germany. With their Doom, Sludge and Redneck infused sound, they fill a gap between oldschool and a style a little bit more „modern“. Yet they evolved into a lot more than the generic standard sound you get to hear at moment from a lot of new Doom bands. It’s aggressive, it’s hard, it’s Gorilla Monsoon!

Since 2010 Firtan from Southern Germany have been combining influences from a variety of musical genres into a raw, driving and yet cinematic sound. Influenced by bands such as Thyrfing, Agalloch and Emperor their music is composed of elements ranging from Black and Pagan Metal to Progressive- and Post-Rock alongside orchestral sounds which are supported by intense vocal performances. Firtan got to play various shows and festivals in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and Romania supporting bands like Imperium Dekadenz, Satyricon, Finntroll and Ne Obliviscaris.

Black Metal Doom and Sludge – All these genres are combined by Witch N, Marko Lehtinen and their session musicians, to create a gloomy, raw and unpolished sound. The duo exists since 2012, carrying their songs about the human abyss, melancholy and chaos, spreading the beauty within. „Ilmaasari“, as their debut, was released in June 2015 at Czar Of Bullets, while the release was reissued as a tape by french label Antiq and as a vinyl by Throne Records.

Shibalba‘s music is saturated with the mysticism of the East. It's richly detailed and multidimensional, while layered with chanting and broadly defined elements of traditional ritual and shamanic music. Apart from contemporary synths and guitar drones, the band makes use of bones and skulls as percussion instruments, Tibetan Horns, Tibetan Singing Bowls, bone & horne trumpets, Darbuka's (goblet drums) as well as ceremonial bells and gongs, to name a few. Every ritual oft he band is a transzendental experience, which should definitely be made!
